Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.
Hans Bastiaan Pacejka (12 September 1934 – 17 September 2017) [1] was an expert in vehicle system dynamics and particularly in tire dynamics, fields in which his works are now standard references. [2] [3] He was Professor emeritus at Delft University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands. [4]
Understeer and oversteer are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of the vehicle to changes in steering angle associated with changes in lateral acceleration. This sensitivity is defined for a level road for a given steady state operating condition by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in document J670 [ 1 ] and by the ...
Slip ratio is a means of calculating and expressing the slipping behavior of the wheel of an automobile.It is of fundamental importance in the field of vehicle dynamics, as it allows to understand the relationship between the deformation of the tire and the longitudinal forces (i.e. the forces responsible for forward acceleration and braking) acting upon it.

SAE J2807 is an SAE standard for determining the towing capacity of passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and trucks. [1] It was written to allow consumers to more accurately compare vehicles from different manufacturers. First released in 2008, it has been periodically updated, with the 2020 version being the most current.
Massimo Guiggiani (born in Siena, 16 August 1956) is an Italian mechanical engineer and academic with interests in vehicle dynamics, gear drives and the boundary element method (BEM). He is professor of applied mechanics at the Università di Pisa .
Pottinger served as president of the Tire Society and was a member of several SAE committees: the Highway Tire Forum Committee, the Vehicle Dynamics Standards Committee, and the Chassis and Suspension Committee. He was a member of the ASTM F-09 Committee on Tires.
